skinner49 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Read about it here! We hope that Sony reveals the price of the PlayStation 4 next week at E3, but even if they don't Sterne Agee's Arvind Bhatia thinks the system will be under $400. In an investors' note, Bhatia reasoned that because of the high price of the PlayStation 3 ($600 for one model), Sony will avoid pricing the PS4 too high. "Given that experience, we believe Sony will aim to keep the price point for PlayStation 4 below $400," Bhatia said. Bhatia also believed that Sony is so committed to this price point that they will accept losing money on the console. This is not unusual early in the life of a new system. The PlayStation 4 will come out some time this holiday season. For another look at the system, take a look at this teaser from Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernWarR3aper Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 ~262 pounds based on the equation above Thanks for the conversion but £262 will never be the price in uk. I'm jelly of you Americans and no VAT 20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasaDeBen Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I was guessing they might do the 2 console approach with 2 different drives. Not sure what size,but I was figuring a $450, and a $550 model. Still waiting to see if I guess correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasaDeBen Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I wouldn't be surprise if they did that. Me either, it seems like a smart move and something that everyones been doing quicker and quicker, having the "basic" console etc. But I am all for it being less than $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gives buyers a choice between 2 consoles. If they buy the "basic' console,they have the option of to buy a bigger HDD later in gaming(it's what I did with my PS3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm expecting two different models as well with the cheapest one being $399 and the other being $499. Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wdjat Prinny Doods Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Man if it is under $400 I will definitely get one on launch day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lilith Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yeeah, I got my 360 at launch for $399, and I'm guaranteed to enjoy the PS4 a hell of a lot more for the same price. Talk about a sweet deal. Especially considering the PS3 was stupidly expensive at launch. Great move by Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbet123 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I think $399 would be awesome....hope it ends up the real price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouTheDroog Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If this is true. And if Sony doesn't implement the same DRM as MS. We know you can play your games offline on the PS4. So your game collection won't be useless years from now.Put a fork in MS next gen. Can't wait for next week. should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTIOX_ Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I reckon it will be between £300-£400 and the Xbox one will be a bit more due to the kinect being bundled in @ £350-£450... I'm usually right ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mturismo Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm expecting two different models as well with the cheapest one being $399 and the other being $499. Parker My thoughts are along the same line. 2 different models with the primary difference being HDD size. With Sony going all out in terms of hardware I hope the base model is 1TB, maybe 750BG. Personally I think that for Sony's strategy for the up-coming gen means that a 500GB would be too small. And really, SATA drives are cheap, your not paying much more for a 750-1TB HDD in bulk than you would 500GB. But Imagine this question will be answered in a couple days. Can't wait!

theAuthentik Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I would get it for any price but I guess 400$ is pretty reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
